Fringe

Once, Aunt Petunia, tired of Harry coming back from the barber's looking as though he hadn't been at all, had taken a pair of kitchen scissors and cut his hair so short he was almost bald except for his fringe, which she left 'to hide that horrible scar' (PS2)

...he stared at his feet to avoid catching anyone's eye, flattening his fringe as he did so (OP7)

a sallow-faced wizard with a short black fringe (OP22)
